About Me

Santorini Greece
Santorini Greece

Specializing in Greece, Italy, France, Iceland, Spain and Portugal

With extensive experience & knowledge of the rich history, culture and beauty of all these amazing countries, I will create customized itineraries that reflect each of my clients unique interests and preferences. Whether it is the historic sites of Athens, the beautiful beaches of Mykonos, sailing the Caldera in Santorini or the picturesque towns of Crete, there is so much to fall in love with. In France, I can help you explore the famous art and culture  of the city, the vineyards of Bordeaux or the richness of the Riviera. Italy has something for everyone with the ancient ruins of Rome, the gastronomy of Tuscany, the shopping in Milan or the architecturally stunning towns of the Amalfi Coast. Iceland offers some of the most beautiful scenery whether you go in the summer to enjoy the lush landscape and freely flowing waterfalls or in the winter to experience the icy and mystical landscape and chase the Northern Lights. In Spain, you can become inspired by the modern and whimsical architecture of Gaudi in Barcelona, enjoy tapas and Flamenco in Seville and feel the excitement of the big city and culture in Madrid. With Lisbon & Porto, Portugal just a short distance away by train, you easily see the castles in Sintra and Pena Palace or bask on some of the nicest beaches in all of Europe on the same getaway. Whatever it is you crave, I am here to help you create lasting memories and unforgettable experiences in any one of Europe's finest cities.

Awesome Agent!
Reviewed By Susan - San Diego, California | Traveled to Greece ~ Europe
Rachel has been my travel agent for several years, traveling internationally and domestically. She is well traveled, which has been a huge advantage for me. Rachel schedules my transfers and they’ve always been timely. I take her suggestions, as she has traveled to places I like to go and that is quite helpful. She shops around for the best prices, as I usually travel solo. That saves me lots of money, if I’m flexible. If you’re looking for a top notch agent, give Rachel a try.

Amazing trip!
Reviewed By Nicki - San Diego, CA | Traveled to Greece | Europe
My husband and I just returned from an amazing trip to Greece. Rachel was instrumental in making this trip one of our most memorable. This was the first time we worked with a travel agent. I felt she really heard what we were interested in experiencing and gave us some great options to explore. Her suggestions for lodging, cultural sites, and restaurants were extremely helpful and expanded our understanding of Greece. And while we were on our trip, she remained in contact to ensure we received updates on excursions and hotels. We feel fortunate to have been connected with Rachel and will definitely be working with her in the future.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Beautiful Italy!
Reviewed By Martutu - San Diego ca | Traveled to Italy | Europe
Our group of 5 had a wonderful trip to Italy and I have to thank Rachel for all she did! It all went so smoothly from the flight to car, train, hotels and skip the line tours. She even checked in on us the last day to make sure everything was going okay. Rachel is very professional yet easy to work with. Thank you again Rachel until we book again!!

Bucket List!
Reviewed By Sue - San Diego CA | Traveled to Rome | Italy | Europe
It was a joy to work with Rachel to plan our first trip to Italy. While we thought we knew what we wanted, we would have never been able to coordinate a group of five ourselves. Rachel provided essential feedback to ensure we made the most of our time She patiently addressed all of our questions and concerns, checked in often leading up to our departure, and provided all the necessary documentation and tickets required. Our dream trip went seamlessly and we are so happy we chose her as our travel professional. We will not hesitate to work with her in our future travels
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
